Why does the app store still show version 1.8.1 as the latest?

Good for Kindle, allowing their books on what seems most any device: wish apple would do same. Had one complaint that graphics didn't seem to show up in mac edition, not sure if this version corrects that and if previous purchases have to be downloaded again if graphics now show. I haven't spent a lot of time reading on screen, been busy, but even if the execution is not quite right (not sure), the ability to send them almost effortlessly to various devices is what I give it the stars for.

just a note: is this thing with the portable devices a replay of the apple/microsoft "battles" of last century wherein microsoft got the "market advantage" by having their stuff run on many hardware (computer) manufacturers (to oversimplify, I suppose)?

Oops, if you bought this at app store, shouldn't install this, I did and wouldn't work, fortunately I'd CC (carbon copied) Sys disk and replaced this download with previous app, which again worked.

There's an amazing range of FREE books- thousands of them- available for Kindle on Amazon and elsewhere. Do a search.
Now's the time to get to read all of those classics you always meant to!
I love my Kindle to bits. I have around 500 books on it and these are backed up on my MacBook Pro so I can enjoy them on either. I also have a bunch on my phone too!
Who said reading was dead?

This is one of few apps which I have deliberately downloaded outside of the app store. I wanted to see if anyone can tell me if there are differences in the functionality of the non-app store version. I don't use this app much yet, as I have a large volume of rss feeds to keep up with. Can anyone tell me the differences in the two versions?

For simple reading enjoyment this app is great. I love the ease and convenience of auto sync between Kindle on my Mac and iPhone. As far as I'm concerned this is a must have app.

Can someone tell me why the new version is not on the App Store? I made the mistake of getting the last version of Kindle through the App Store (see below for my word on that) and so do not want to do the direct download and have to again go through the process I mentioned in my earlier post.

Any help here?

Thanks!

I'm wondering the same. I did try uninstalling the App store version and direct downloading the current version, however after installing it only crashes on launch, tried reinstalling with no luck. Looks like once you install the app store version you are stuck with it even after removing it.

James- Maybe Apple noticed the crashing problem on some platforms and refused to put it in the App Store.
